Got a splinter? If you've also got an egg, problem solved! How-to illustrator Yumi Sakugawa discovered that splinters come out a bit easier with the help of a small bit of eggshell.

How does it work? Just take a bit of egg shell (perhaps consider making some eggs, too, so you don't waste an entire egg on this tip) and place it on your finger for a few minutes. It will stick to the splinter and then you can pull it out slowly by removing the eggshell.

If eggs aren't your thing, check out Yumi's info-comic for several more solutions.
